Hi,

I bought a used Contrail and I noticed that some of the stitching on the door is coming loose in the middle of the seam. Obviously I don't want it to continue to unravel. Can I just tack it with a bit of super glue? Will the glue stick to the silnylon at all?

Thanks,
Al

If you can sew or know somebody who can…

I'd just start on one end of the seam where it's coming loose, backstitch over the seam a little ways, then sew down to the other end where it's coming loose, overlap it a little ways, then backstitch again to lock the seam.

I apologize for the primitive Paint skills.

I've always wondered what that meant………….

I used to think it was some sort of reference to General Relativity

But then I had a seam that slowly ripped out but I just ignored it…
